Chris is a serial entrepreneur with more than 14 years of real estate development and investment experience. He’s raised more than $110 million in equity financing. To date, Fort Capital has invested and developed over $504M in multifamily, student housing, commercial/industrial, and residential & land development projects throughout Fort Worth and the state of Texas.

But in this conversation, we didn't speak about too much of that. We spoke about optimism, envy, giving, parenting, mentorship, and much more.
